LOCAL ITEMS.
Mechanics’ Pic attended this pic
nic, which was held in Beale’s Wood?, on Sat*
urday last. When we arrived on the ground *e
found the musicians on the platform, and quite
a number of “ fair women and brave men,”
“tripping the light fantastic toe” “ through the
giddy mazes of the magic dance,” on a platform
which bad been put down for the purpose. The
music of the band (which, by the way, was a
good one,) appeared to infuse life into all pres
ent, and those who could not get upon the plat
form, kept time with their feet, or “ cjit the pi
geon wing” around the outskirts. Everything
moved along “ merry as a mhrriage belle” until
about 11 o’clock, when a pretty smart: shower
of rain caused those wbojiod not been provident
enough to bring umbrellas to rfeek shelter in an
edd untenanted house close by. Although the
rain dampened the grass a little and the ladies’
skirts much more, it did not dampen the ardor
of the young folks, and scarcely had the clouds
broke way ere they were again upon the plat
form ready'to join in “’the maze of the fleet
dance.” Cotillion, .waltz, and polka followed
each other in.rapid succession until one o'clock,
when the company was summoned to a table
fairly groaning .beneath the weighty good
things placed thereon. Exercise had sharpened
appetites, and full justice was done to the din
ner, which wns 6ne of the best we bare ever
Been served up 0 n such fin occasion, and did
great credit, to Mr. Samuel Hilenlan, of White
Ml Hotel, by whom it was got up. It was par
■ ,aken of % .• ov^ r two hundred persons, and
there was plenty for as many more. After din-
ner the dancing platform was the chief attrac-
tion, although there were several swings in dif
ferent parts of the grove which were well pa
tronized,. and the music and dancing were kept
up untU six o’clock, at which time the party re
turned, to tpwn. The managers may well feel
satisfied of. thjs “First Annual Pic Nic,”
and we doubt not their next one will be much
more extensive. They attended to their part
faithfully, and did all they could to render the
day pleasant to every one. Oar wiph is that
they may hk upon a more pleasant day next
year. . '
ThasKb.—Wo have certainly beca in luck,
daring the past week, in the way oft receiving
boquets.. ; °
First came a handsome and skillfully arranged
Loquet of choice and fragrant flowers, handed
to our Senior imp of darkness,” by some kind
friend, who insists upon remolding incognito.
Although unknown, your boquet was not the
less welcome, and it even now fills “ our house
at-home” with so delicious that we
thank you crety time.We enter it

Mrs. P,, we value your present much, but the
spirit which prompted it more. We are fond
of flowers, and consider them 1 , at this season,
most acceptable presents. We always feel bet

brance. We are led.tp believe that there are a

Next came a mammoth boquet, from a fair

tame flowers, arranged in a style 1 which exhibi
ted taste and skill. We don’t know whether

doubt, shrewd enough to appreciate the value
ol the trade they would gain by building a road
by way of Bellofonto to intersect their
roairat Tyrone. The trade of Penns, Nittany
Brush \ alley’s would alone warrant them
the construction of such a road, and by and by
when the Sandy Barrens bos been reduced to a
state o. cultivation this will be the greatest grain
producing region in the State.
Tnere will be a meeting on the 15th lust, at

struction of the road are expected to attend.—
Ibis is a move in the right direction and we
want ttf see the work go on. Let there be some

The Simple Seobkt.—Twenty clerks in n
j store. Twenty young men in a village. All
want to get along in the world, and, all expect to
do so. One of the clerks will rise to be a port*
j ner and make a fortune. One of the composi
| tors will own a newspaper and become an influ
j ent >al end prosperous citizen. One of the ap
; prentices will come to be a master-builder. One
| of tbe villagers will get a farm and live like a
j patriarch. Hut which is destined to be the lucky
individual 1 Lucky ? There is no luck about
it. The thing is almost as certain as the Rule 1
of Three. The young fellow who will distance
his competitors is he who masters his-business,
who preserves his integrity,:, who lives clearly
and purely, who never gets in debt, who gains
friends by deserving them,- and puts bis money
into a saving bank. There are some ways to
I fortune that look shorter than this old dusty
( highway. But the staunch men of the communl
j ty? the men wly> achieve something really worth
having, good fortune, good name, and a serene
old age, all go this road.
Tub Leaf? Month op Juke.— Never has the
country looked more beautiful than it does at
present. The abundant tains which have fallen
have mantled the earth with a deeper verdure
—no scorching suns have yet faded the richly
variegated loveliness of tlie summer flowers, and
berries and fruit-bearing trees give signs of an
abundant yield of their grateful delicacies. The
golden oriole, and its plainer vested brother
robin, from tree to tree, and. while picking
the cherry branches, Whistle right saucily, as if
to say, “ The garden of the world is large, and
there is fruit enough in it for all of us”—the
little brown wren comes hopping up to the win
dow siU for its daily meal of crumbs and seed,
and emboldened by frequent visits, eats from
the cage of the canary birl. The wind pipes
softly through rustling leaves, and branch nods
to branch, repeating the truant’s stoiy—all na
ture is jubilant with life, and her many voices
re-echo the Poet's truth, .‘‘God made tho coun
try, and man made the-town.”
A Child Hcet,— On Saturday evening last, a
little daughter of Mr. Daniel Pope, of this bor
opgh, aged about four years, wandered to the
depot of the Pennsylvania P v ailroad, and while
the 7 o’clock train was lying there she clamber
ed upon the platform- of one of the cars, and
escaping the notice of the employees on the train
was carried off. ’As the train passed through
town the child was observed oh the platform Hy
a nuriiber of our citizens, but they cbuld render
no assistance. Her 'father, thinking that she
wonld be put off at Petersburg;, the next sta
tion, started for that place, but had not proceed
ed more than half a mile on his journey before
be found his child lying on the ground, with her
skull badly fractured* and life almost extinct—
She'iwas brought to town as soon as possible,
and medical did summoned. During Saturday
night she revived a little, but insensi

More Good Beep.—Wc think the citizens of
Altoona are about as well supplied with good
beef as those of any other toWn'in thw country.
We have to notice this week that Capt Leonard,
one of our excellent butchers, has purchased a
lot of cattle from some of the good stock feed
ers in the vicinity of Frankstown, lathis coun
ty which cannot be excelled by those brought
from any other quarter. SChey will dll dress In
the neighborhood of 800 lbs. clean meat. Such
beef is a luxury and it can be bad atthe market
of Capt. L., on Virginia street, every
Tuesday and Saturday morning. The Captain
Is determined not .to fall behind his competitors
in the business, in this plice, in the quality' of
his beef. ... ."T V.-.

—OnHbnday morning.last, the gable end of our
1 jaU, next the Court House, showed a
hoW jn the Wall about twenty feet from the
ground, and two pieces of bed ticking tied to
• ***** Bnspended4herefrom, upon which it was
evident persons' Jjad descended. Upon exami
nation four of the prisoners were discovered to
be ,vii: Jefferson Hamilton, George
Helfnght, garrison Eekle and a colored indivi
dual named Edward Stewart. The brick wall
of the jail is lined"with three inch oak plank
upon which: is firmly rivettod sheet iron of the
thickness Of hi quarter of an inch. The rivets
of the sheet iron appear to have been removed
by means ofaghs fitters cold chisel which was
found on the floor. The odk plank was bored
jith an inch and a quarter auger, about two
eet ong, which/was also left on the premises,
and then the brick carefully removed and drawn
mside, to guard f against the noise of the fell
outside. The descent was then made from the
cOh next to the Court House into the lot by
taeans of bedding. Previously to this, how
ever, two large padlocks on the cell door were
picked with an ingeniously contrived piece of
wire which they also left behind them.
Hamilton and Helfrigtit were charged with
the robbery of a store at Bell's Mills in this
county, some: time in February last. Eckel was
charged with the larcency of a small quantity
of store goods, in Frankstown, and the colored
man, Stewortj with assault and battery Whiff.
j Ansjfee THE Questions. —As the deputy U.S.
Marshals are na* engaged in taking the census,
the following ;fropi the Cincinnati Commercial ia
not without interest hereU. S. Marshal Gif
ford served summonses yesterday against three
citizens, two gentlemen and a lady, to appear
before the U. S. Circuit Court* and answer for
refusing to make returns of their property, etc.,
According to the schedule prepared by the Sec
; rotary of the Interior, under authority of an act
of Congress for taking the census. By the fift
teonth section ;Qf that law, authority is given to
the U. $. Marshal to prosecpte all persons refu
sing to make the returns required of them, the
penalty imposed being $3O and costa. Our ciU
izcus should remember that they ore subject to
a fine of $3O for not answering readily and cor
rectly the questions of the Marshal. It is
thought the fines yhich will be collected in this
way will go for towards paying the expenses of
taking the census. We hope none of our citi
zens will contribute to this fund.
Quito a number of delegates from the
West to the Baltimore Convention, passed thro’
this place on Friday and Saturday last It was
at first reported that there would be some 1000
or 1100 of a delegation from Chicago and Pitts
burgh on the Express East on Friday night, ac
companied by several bands of music, and a
large number of odr citizens collected at the de
pot td get anight pf them and hear the music.
When the train arrived it was found that there
were only about ninety on board and no music.
If all the delegations dwindle down as this one
did, Baltimore iwillrnot bo overstocked. A dele
gation from Pittsburgh passed through on Satur
day night accompanied by a band.

Messrs. EditorsAn pic nice, excursions and
summer parties iare now the order of the day,
may I be allowed a place in yqur columns to
sketch a horseback excursion by a piscatorial
party from Logan township, to the Res.ervoir,
near day fixed upon proved
one of rare delightfulncss, and a glorious time
was, of conrse. antidipated os the houses were
being saddled fa|r an early start Everything
being in .readiness, the road soon resounded with
the clattering hopfs of prancing steeds, and tner
ry voices rendered the air jubilant At Altoona
a halt was called; dating which the party came
in for a fall share of gbservation, and conjecture
was at fault as ,td whepce it came or whither It
was going. Whether the observers and sunni
sers became folly informed wd did not stay to
learn. ",
After -leaving Altoona many lively attempts
were made, in John Gilpin style, to obtain pre
cedence in the much skill In horseman
i ship manifested, especially by the ladies. Our
friend H. and his! lady finally obtained the road,
and led off into the famous city of Hollidays
burg, reining up in front of the “ American
House,” where we wejre waited upon usher
ed into comfortable apartments by “mine host”
Daniel Barney. Dinner was soon announced,
and we sat downrio a.table ladened with a sup
ply of delicacies which would have gladdened
the heart and tickled the palate of the most fas
tidious e picui e. '
After dinner onr host escorted as to the Res
ervoir, where; fun* frolic and fishing were jin or

the ffslics or the hearts of the ladxeain the par-

cellent supper was served up at the “American,”
which received amjile attention. Several toasts,
pertinent to theoccasion, dedicated to the I*-
dies, were read and caused much merriment L
Supper over, pur torses were ordered and we
were soon homeward bound, with colors flying.
We arrived at the residence of Mr. H. at about
8 o’clock, P. -M.', where most of the party
alighted and closed out the remainder of the
evening in social chit chat. Evidently the day
was enjoyed by all, and will long be remembered
as one of the festivities of the season. J
